Aamir sported a dark blue tee shirt, brown pants and a cap.

While Kiran put on a long skirt with sleeveless blouse. Anurag Kashyap,
who was married to Kalki Koechlin, was also seen at the event. The

Shraddha Kapoor gave thumbs up to the film as the cameras
captured her. She then took to Twitter for telling her fans that
‘Margarita With a Straw’ is a must watch – “Just watched
#MargaritaWithAStraw trust me, you guys cannot miss this film. It is
just so heartwarmingly beautiful!!! Have laughed & cried!!” The film
has already won Kalki much fame. It was the only Indian film to be
screened at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in 2014 in Estonia,
Europe. It also went on to win International Asian Film Premiere at the
2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film has a very unique concept; it features a girl
struck by cerebral palsy – a movement disorder characterized by, stiff
muscles, poor coordination, weak muscles etc. Talking about the film,
director Shonali reveals the plot, “In my film, Kalki plays Laila, a
vulnerable character who falls repeatedly in love, yearns to make
physical love and aspires to be a Bollywood songwriter. She is a
brilliant mind trapped in a disobedient body. The script was inspired by
my younger cousin, Malini, who has cerebral palsy. A few years ago,
when I asked my cousin what she’d like to do on her 40th birthday, her
response was straightforward; she wanted to have sex.”
